Monument tickets
Indian visitors pay about ₹50 for the Taj Mahal grounds plus about ₹200 extra for the main mausoleum; Agra Fort about ₹50. Book online on the official ASI site. The Taj is closed on Fridays.
Stay and food
Budget hotels in Agra cost about ₹1,200–₹2,500 a night. Meals cost ₹150–₹400; try petha and bedai-kachori.
Mathura and Vrindavan
Temples are free to enter. Autos between Mathura and Vrindavan cost about ₹100–₹300. Avoid big festival days if you want a calm visit.
Delhi to Agra trip cost for couples, families and groups
Taj Mahal and Agra Fort tickets are per person, so a couple pays close to double the per-person estimate by train. A family or group of four sharing a private cab from Delhi often pays a similar per-head cost to the train, with more flexibility.
Adding Mathura, Vrindavan or Fatehpur Sikri adds an extra cab stop or night. Enter your route in TripSahay for an Estimated total before comparing Agra tour packages.
Best time to visit Agra and how to save
October to March is the best time for a Taj Mahal trip; winter mornings can be foggy. Weekends and holidays are most crowded. Note that the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.
Save by taking the Gatimaan, Vande Bharat or a regular train, buying monument tickets online, and visiting the Taj at sunrise.
